Calif. passes trans fat ban to Schwarzenegger’s desk

Jul 15, 2008

SACRAMENTOCalif. The California Legislature has passed a bill that would require restaurants throughout the state to eliminate trans fats from all menu items during a multi-year process. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to indicate whether he will veto the measure or sign it into law.

Although a number of cities and counties have banned trans fat from restaurant fare, California would be the first state to do so.
